Shreveport Times: At the late meet
ing of the Democratic State executive
committee Mr.. Ogden offered d resolu-
tion to the effect that no man should be
permitted to vote at the primary elec-
tlons In tbs various parisnes unless he
were q white Democrat and one who
had not voted for Blaine or Stevenson
It would seem that no true Democrat
could consistently oppose such aresolu-
ton ; yet it was bitterly opposed by
such shining lights OF the Reform per-
suation al Messrs. Jef2ries, Cunning
ham, Wickline, and upon the miserabIy
fimsy pretext that il weuld be an un.
warrantables Infringement upon the pre-.
negatives of the parish committees. Il
iis a significant fact that no member Of
the COMMITTEES friendly to the State ad-
ministration took this view OF the case,
although 1t may fairly be assumed that
they had as correct an opinion as to the
p~roprietiss as the Reform members. It
is a matter of regret that Mr.. Ogden
withdrew his resolution when he saw
it metswith such violent opposition. It
was eminently a Democratic measure.
It would have been well If every mem
Der Of the committee had been forced to
place himself on the record by his vote
upon it. The Reformers never weary
of charging upon ssthe ring that they
wish to resort to sharp practices TO se-
cure success, but here is a fair, SQUARE
Democratic measure which, for reasong
best known to themselves, they violent
" oppose. Is this not decidedly signi-
foanta We submit the question to
every white Democrat in North Louis
